Question

Please help, I need someone to recheck this.

15x+24y/-3

Answer 1

I ended up getting 15x+24y

Answer 2

The original expression is

\[\Large \frac{15x+24y}{-3}\]

right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

So what you do is break up the fraction to get

\[\Large \frac{15x+24y}{-3}\]

\[\Large \frac{15x}{-3}+\frac{24y}{-3}\]

then you divide 15 by -3 to get -5. Also you divide 24 by -3 to get -8

so

\[\Large \frac{15x}{-3}+\frac{24y}{-3}\]

turns into

\[\Large -5x - 8y\]

Answer 5

Hopefully that makes sense?
